So the main protagonist has to rely on his own skills than being overpowered in like some anime with isekai themes.

Animation looked averge as this show got off to a weird start imo. At least Seika has someone who seems to be fond of him. I'm not sold on it yet though. This needs more character development, a lot more.

Are we exhausted of all ideas of the Isekai reincarnation sub-genre?

angela's OP is good in spots.

This show, featuring the reincarnation of the strongest Onmyouji Haruyoshi Kuga into the body of child Seika Lamprouge, this is heavily giving me Shikkakumon vibes where the MC is the strongest character in his past life, but with the weakest affinity for magic. The child of a mistress, gathering his sources to learn more about the fantasy world he's been reincarnated to, with the personal servant Yiga. The older brother Gly is as always, proud of his magic roots and loves to mock Seika, while the younger brother Ruft is kind, that is until he shows him his true power from his past life. All Seika can really do is to learn and adapt as the years pass, solely relying on his Onmyouji powers.

Mustering his skills to summon Yuki, and impressing Yifa with his incantation-less magic while she can see spirits that the average human cannot see, both have the affinity of the elementals divine enough to train magic on their own. But the presence of an elder newt crashing on the vicinity of their mansion, and Seika manages to defeat it with one blow.

Another mediocre showing, though I wanna know how stereotypical this can be.

May I never hate on isekai. I'd inject this straight into my bloodstream, if possible. 
I love it all, every single bit of it, except maybe the one brother's heavy-handed disdain - it's too easy and I wish it was a touch more subtle, if at all.

OP maid friend is a good element, I do hope our hero doesn't need to kill his brother over her.

Como um grande entusiasta de Isekais, gostei bastante desse primeiro episódio, e já fugiu do cliche dele dominar as magias todas logo quando nasce, por ser exorcista na vida passada ele tem muitos poderes espirituais, ansioso para o proximo episódio

I am pleasantly surprised to say the least, based on my initial expectations.

Obviously it doesn’t do anything special, nor is it going to have some deep plot with a ton of meaning…but not everything has to. It’s generic, but I feel like people often conflate generic with bad. It’s (hopefully) going to be a fun watch and I look forward to the rest of the season.

Heavy shades of hachi-nan tte, spirit chronicles and World’s finest assassin in this one. Always like to see isekai’s when the person was isekai’d as an adult and brings a different level of maturity to the story. I don’t think this will be super popular but the first episode was really enjoyable and has just enough of a twist on the isekai formula to be good potentially. Excited

Interesting concept: an exorcist who can choose to Isekai himself.
The animation is correct, an introductory situation that is suitable for a good development.

I'll be watching this out of the corner of my eye 🧐

Another power fantasy isekai, but at least this one offers no fan service. Fairly satisfying to watch, but don't expect anything sophisticated.

Well this was bizarre. The tone and atmosphere is that of a serious, dramatic mature piece of work, but the plot is a carbon copy of countless numbers of goofy generic OP power fantasy Isekai; the juxtaposition is just werid. It's juuuuust different enough for me to keep watching but with the absolute flood of generic Isekai this season it's got some stiff competition.

not bad, Seika.
Glys is all bark but definitely no bite. I mean, he freaking ran away and hid himself in fear! If he soiled his pants in the process I wouldn't be surprised lol
But I think Ruft has his suspicions about Seika and his hidden abilities.

Text-book case of lazy storytelling.

This obvious power-trip could still be enjoyable to watch if it was not for a few lamentable writing choices.

One word that does not describe the writing is "subtle".

Meh.

Now this is an interesting take on isekai. Having normal magic but having the MC use a different type of magic. I like it. I'm looking forward to seeing what other summons he has.

Honestly a decent start. A host of easily identifiable cliches and issues, and the pacing was slightly too fast, but this intrigued me enough to check out the source material. Pretty excited for this one.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

chinese onmyouji to european mansion weird isekai jump.
Was eh on this emotionless bland mc, but how he handle relation issues & stay cunning was good.
that looks nothing like a fox. interesting his past sealed spirits also get isekaied.
Seika teaching & Yifa with elementals is adorbs. It's nice mc include bit of science, not all magic bs. Reminds of Farma & Charlotte.

All things considered, not a terrible first ep. It looks promising, though hard to tell.

The OP sure has a lot of characters, is this really going to be 12 eps or another 20+ ep anime?

It seems there's only two main girls, though maybe a few more? The random girl that seika summoned earlier on might show up as well, but hard to tell there's too much stuff happening in the op.

So we had some timeskips, but seika is 12 now, not quite high school age though? Or maybe they start school at a different age or there's gonna be another timeskip next ep.

Not much to say since not much happened in the first ep, just setting up the premise as usual for ep 1. The fact that seika can potentially summon (all?) the previous is quite fascinating actually, though might also be a bit weird.

Seika also has a rather interesting personality we've seen so far, though quite quiet. (Yifa?) also seems quite nice, and from what we see in the op presumably there's going to be more uh, development.

Random monster showing up in the first ep is convenient but that aside what exactly the plot will be.

I mean there's a lot of random speculation that can be said right now, but like. Other characters aside I'm wondering how much the brothers (and the father) are going to be involved. But presumably most of the screentime will be the (two?) main girls and seika

Now this will definitely be fun!
Not isekai but more of a "reincarnation" like The Weakest Crest and the Omnyouji powers reminds me of Tokyo Ravens, this will probably be a sweet ride and an interesting story.

Btw, since this is tagged as "reincarnation" only in the DB, I doubt this is a "isekai" but the anime's title has "isekai" so... lol

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Really enjoyed this first episode.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.
